wrinkled; second joint with. 3-6 obsolete teeth on the anterior and 

 interior edges and two blunt spines below ; third joint with one spine 

 below, the interior edge equal in length to the anterior edge of the 

 second joint; fourth joint very broad, no spine below, with a long 

 apophysis springing from the antero-lateral corner, the first half cylin- 

 drical and broad, the terminal half about half the thickness of the first 

 and constricted in the middle, quadrately terminated and furnished 

 with a small spine at the end (Fig. 10), the inside of the apophysis at 

 the end with a largo rounded process ; fifth joint large, rounded, broader 

 than the fourth joint, the inner edge scooped out to receive the rounded 

 process on the apophysis of the fourth joint, causing the fixed finger to 

 stand out as a cylindrical tooth serrated on both edges ; movable finger 

 moderately curved, serrated on the inner edge. 



Cephalothorax densely granulated, the space between the anterior 

 and the lateral eyes tumid. 



Structure, 2 . Cheliceres with the first joint normal ; second with 

 five teeth on the anterior and lateral edges and two spines below : third 

 joint with a lateral sjiine and one below ; fourth with a spine below aud 

 a sharply-pointed triangular apophysis serrated on the inner edge and 

 and with 3 spines on the outer ; fifth joint weak, narrower than the 

 fourth, the fixed finger sharply triangular and serrated on both edges, 

 the movable finger gently curved and serrated on the inner edge. 



The cheliceres, as in the male, are nearly smooth, being very slightly 

 punctured in a few places only. 



Described from specimens taken on Muleyit mountain in Tenasserim 

 and now in the Indian Museum. I have named it after Mr. J. Wood- 

 Mason, the energetic Superintendent of the Indian Museum.
